Tangem Wallet Pros & Cons (My Verdict) 

Awesome! Thank you for watching

Hey thank you! Let me know if any questions popup! - Alex

Thanks! And nice, the multiple address capability will come via a simple app update (not a newly released card) just in case you thought it would be released via a new card :)

Very nice! Let me know how you like it!

Thanks! And good eye! Ledger is no good anyway

Ya, ledger was a bad experience.

Yes! Exactly. So simple, and so good!

@@cyberscrilla That's my point, if its made so its easy to use ...then I will use it and not leave my crypto on exchanges. I found before that I was getting lazy and leaving assess on exchanges because I did not want to deal with the ledger. thanks for the content by the way, very helpful!

Thank you for watching!!

You rock! Thank you so much! - Alex

Thank you! And no, you just add at least one backup card when creating a wallet. So if you buy two (2 packs) you can create to separate wallets with different seed phrases. - Alex

Thank you for watching!

They’re always rolling out support for new tokens 👍 And it does support transaction history now

As long as you have the seed phrase, you can import it into any wallet (including new Tangem cards) Tangem only allows 3 cards max for one wallet. So if you bought another three cards you couldn’t back up your existing cards on them. You’d have to create a new wallet. Again, the workaround is if you have the seed phrase. You can import that into new Tangem cards if you lose your other ones. - Alex

Awesome thank you!

Arguably one of the best wallets no doubt. Keep grinding. - Alex

That’s a good idea!

You could probably use a Dymo label maker and stick a label on the back. They come in paper or plastic.

Maybe in the future they’ll have different shipping options. But I’m glad you got it all figured out. Tangem is indeed #1 :)

If the NFC antenna fails you can still access your wallet my importing your seed phrase into a new wallet (it doesn’t even have to be Tangem)

@@cyberscrilla but what if you didn’t choose that option and you didn’t add a seed phrase when creating your Tangem wallet .

You can use walletconnect to initiate a transaction, say on a DEX, and approve the transaction using your mobile device, yes. I do this often

He not replying show u are right. I still go with ledger. So far since 2017 till now. Even my nano s got no issue

Transaction details are displayed on your phone so you can view the addresses you’re sending to during the transaction. If you’re using the official Tangem app, it wont be compromised. And to move funds you’d either need the wallet’s seed phrase (so you could access funds on another device) or you’d need the physical card to approve transactions. The wallet speaks for itself. Millions have been sold, and not one has ever been hacked. Plus Tangem has had multiple security audits done which prove there are no backdoor or vulnerabilities. I hope this helps, and sorry I missed your comment, RU-vid doesn’t always notify me so they get lost. - Alex

@@cyberscrilla "I hope this helps" - actually no. With all due respect to "Millions have been sold", Tangem wallet just does not offer the same kind of protection as Ledger and Trezor devices do. It's a different security model. With my Ledger device, I can be confident that no funds can be stolen, even if my mobile/desktop app is COMPLETELY compromised. I mean, my desktop/phone can be breached, a phishing app installed, trojans + key loggers, and etc. - this will all be irrelevant. The Ledger device won't sign anything without my explicit permission. Of course it's my responsibility to verify with my eyes what I'm going to sing. And, since HW wallets are designed with simplicity+security in mind, it's far more complex to breach them, than a mobile phone (not to mention a desktop PC). The Tangem offers a different security model, where it's user's responsibility to keep its mobile device + app clean and genuine, and the responsibility of the company and the app store reviewers to make sure a dishonet dev won't publish a malicious app update.

Tough choice. And thank you! If you want the most user friendly wallet on the market, go with Tangem. It also supports more coins than Trezor. If you want a wallet with its own interface (opposed to using your phone) go with Trezor. I also reviewed the Trezor Safe 3 in this video: Trezor Safe 3 Review: Finally, Something New! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6f_EtXAb254.html

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching :)

Coming soon!

If you already reinstalled the app, did you try a hard reset on your phone?

even installed on another iphone i am using for business same problem

Sure, you can import your ledger seed phrase onto Tangem 👍

​@@cyberscrilla Thank you! I just bought one. 😊

Paraphrase feature is not available on any Tangem wallets yet.

Sure you can still use it if you’re happy with it and are okay with not knowing your seed phrase. It will still continue to work as normal. Personally, I like to know my seed phrase though. - Alex

Yes you can. And you can have both sets actively displayed in the app. Just tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner and select “Add New Wallet”

@@cyberscrilla thank you . Just making sure . Have a great day

@@vegancrypto01 Anytime! Thanks, you too

Like which network? If you request, Tangem is very good at adding new support

Exactly, that’s correct!

Just use a decentralized exchange. Then you don’t have to send it anywhere…

The most important thing is that you use the official Tangem app and you should be fine. If you have malware on your phone, you have more to worry about than that, such as spyware. You could use a dedicated phone id you’d like.

You’d have to ask them I’m not sure

A sim swap would not compromise your Tangem wallet

Same. It’s such a solid wallet!

Yes, you can move your tokens around and add/remove tokens as you please. You can’t name the address though. However, it does show the balance of your tokens which I really appreciate. Multiple addresses will soon be available. However, you can’t use one wallet for multiple seed phrases like keystone. But, you can add multiple Tangem wallets to the app if you’d like. For example, I own 5 Tangem cards. 2 cards are one wallet, and the other 3 are another. I manage both through the Tangem app. - Alex

Thanks for the info

@@Aitch135 you’re welcome!

To access your card on a new phone they need your access code which you create. Also, if you choose the seed phrase option, you can import it into any hardware wallet not just Tangem

I mean, most wallets use Moonpay or a similar third-party service so it wouldn't make much of a difference. If you're just selling for another crypto, I'd use a decentralized exchange. - Alex

Nope. You can generate the seed phrase without your phone connected to the internet. It just needs to be turned on to activate the card.

Nice 👍 it will be 3-6 months for the ring

Yes. If you sign a malicious smart contract for example.

Nope. That’s coming soon though.

You need at least two cards to activate the wallet. The reason there are 2 or 3 cards is because you have the option to create a wallet WITHOUT a seed phrase. This way each additional card acts as your backup. If you lost all of your cards, then yes, you’d lose access to your crypto. But you can also choose to create a wallet using a seed phrase (this is my recommendation). You’ll still need at least two cards to activate your wallet and one will just be a backup. But as long as you have your seed phrase you can access your funds on any wallet (even if you lost all your Tangem cards) - Alex

​@@cyberscrilla11:23

Do you mean the NFC antenna? Or the secure element?

No. You can’t just add a token if Tangem doesn’t already support the blockchain which the token lives on. You can add a custom ERC-20 token for example, because Tangem already supports those networks. But if you want a new blockchain/coin added, you must reach out to Tangem and request it. - Alex

@@cyberscrilla Thank bro for the reply.

@@vishnukumark6757 you’re welcome. Thank you for watching the video!

There’s no fees for holding crypto in a wallet

@@cyberscrilla Thanks for information 👍

I have the same doubt ;D

You need to have at least one backup card to activate the wallet. So if you buy two (2 packs) you can have two separate wallets. But one 2 pack will only allow you to generate one wallet

@@caueZero just answered this for you in the other comment 👍

@@cyberscrilla Hm I see. Thank you for the info.

@@caueZero you’re welcome :)

If you want a wallet that just as easy (or in Tangem’s case) easier to use than Ledger, get Tangem. It’s still super secure and has never been hacked. If you’d prefer your wallet to have a user interface, I’d go with the new Trezor safe 3. - Alex

@@cyberscrilla I don't mind about the interface, I just buy crypto and keep it stored for the future, I think I'll go to tangem, Thanks

Just like any wallet. You’d need to get those tokens in your wallet by sending them there or buying them directly in the app

@@cyberscrilla Thanks. Sorry, but do you know a good place to get Optimistic Etherum? Then I can connect using the Tangem app right

It seems like there's some confusion between the roles of a secure element, seed phrase, and passphrase. A secure element provides physical protection for the seed phrase & guards against digital attacks by storing sensitive information such as private keys in a secure and isolated environment. A passphrase adds an additional layer of encryption to the seed. It’s not one or the other, they work together to secure your crypto.

@@cyberscrillayes that is true. But if the passphrases are not stored (like on Ledger), then the Secure element is rendered redundant since I doubt a secure element is able to hold a candle to a passphrase which is about 100-200 bits of entropy... Mind you, the average joe isn't using that level of passphrase so they would benefit from a secure element since it can physically protect the seed inside it. But with a secure passphrase, the secure element is only an additional layer. Of course, these only come into play if the wallet is stolen or lost. hence it's better to just not lose it. With that said, I would personally recommend a Secure element to someone that doesn't use passphrases since a 6 or even 10 digit numerical pin is pathetically weak, a secure element would have a counter and can self erase if the incorrect PIN is given a certain number of times and can make seed extraction and an offline attack difficult... though not impossible, if it were effectively impossible, then they could open source the firmware and not require NDAs, Security through obscurity barely works. For this device, I see the benefit of a secure element since it is more likely to be lost or stolen, and is more likely to be used by someone who wants it to "Just work" and not use a large passphrase. But for real storage, I would push people to use Shamir secret sharing seed phrases (redundancy and security in one shot) with a large, strong, secure, but easy to memorize passphrase, and this is only really offered in the Trezor line.Trezor also has ZERO antennas, NFC or otherwise, it requires a physical USB connection that is very hard to sniff or intercept, and it also has direct entry of the passphrase directly on the screen, no battery also means fewer points of wear and failure. The lack of antennas is a down side for daily transactions so maybe use this for daily chequing crypto, and then use the Trezor for bulk storage. But for onboarding people, this might work if it gets coin support and a good ui.

Definitely with seed phrase!!

As long as they have the seed phrase, they can access your funds using any wallet

I answered this comment you left on the other video. As long as the phone has internet and you can download the Tangem app and it has NFC, it will work

​@@cyberscrilla I wanted to order , but i feel little bit confuse what to choose between 3 Cards set and 2 Cards set. Because 3 Cards set stated that it is Safer while 2 Cards set stated it is Cheaper. So which is safe to them? and what is the difference between the two?

Whether you get the two cards or the three cards it's exactly the same. They say three cards is safer because you have two backups, so you can hide one card in one spot and another card in a different spot, so if somebody finds and steals one of your backups, you still have the other one. Or maybe one of your backups is in a house that burns to the ground, and your other backup is in a different house. Then you still have one of your backups.

@@bertstv0210 it’s only safer if you dont plan on recording your seed phrase. If you do, just get 2 cards.

What do you mean?

Hey. This is the case with everyone. Your wallet is fine. The app automatically verifies the card and firmware are authentic when you set it up. Enjoy!

Thanks Scrilla !! - Also, can you view on two different phones as I ideally wanted to use another phone which I don't need to connect to the internet as much for the set up and then view it on their most times in airplane mode etc but can I also have it on my main phone, or can it only be on one phone like say a wats app ? thanks

You can use it on multiple phones. You’ll just enter your access code to access it on a different phone. 👍 Just know you need internet to activate the card and of course anytime you use it.

Yeh - just thinking to set it up on the spare phone, use internet on it when i need to but only view etc on my main phone which of course is always connected to the internet. this way the set up etc is on my spare phone which is barely used. what do you think ?​@@cyberscrilla​

Sure. I think either way is fine. The most important thing is to download the official Tangem app

Seed phrase. There are so many upsides to using a seed phrase ime. If you lose all your cards you can still recover your crypto. If you want to use a different brand wallet down the line you can simply import your seed phrase. A seed phrase is the safest bet. Just don’t share it online or save it to an internet connected device and you’ll be good. I talk about it more in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OlAHxkyy96g.htmlsi=5AtFbih3a4fvFbXM

@@cyberscrilla thank you. Subscribeed the channel🙏🏽

@xosincewayback Thank you 🤝

Same as you would any wallet. I show you how in this video: Tangem Wallet 2.0 Review: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_eIX8icH1To.html

I don’t think Metamask supports Tangem at this time. Staking will be available soon in the Tangem app allowing you to stake directly from your Tangem wallet

Personally I’m not too concerned. Especially if you’re using it the right way (solely as a storage wallet) Any wallet is capable of signing a malicious contract, especially if your messing around on random and sketch dapps

When using the official app, the risk of compromise is removed. Tangem advises users to prioritize their digital hygiene by maintaining a secure device environment, running the most up-to-date version of their mobile device's OS, and downloading apps only from official sources. Additionally, Tangem actively working on redesigning the token sending page, and will soon introduce it. Also, the official Tangem app is open-source and its code is available on GitHub. This means everyone can check it out and verify that there is no backdoors and vulnerabilities, if they have some basic tech-knowledge of course. Appart from that, both Tangem app and Tangem firmware of the cards were audited by 2 most reputable audit companies - Kudelski Security and Riscure

Have you requested it? They are good at adding coins people request 👍

I did, I was just surprised it wasn’t included. Thx

@@ZOT369 Hopefully soon 🙏

Yes

Thank you! To be honest. I’m not sure about the shipping. I’ll try to find out. They may still be trying to catch up. But I know they have warehouses all over the world so they should be using the one closest to you assuming it’s stocked. If it’s coming from oversees, that’s partially the reason as customs can take a long time. And don’t forget this time of year is the busiest for mail. - Alex

Thanks for your input. It's coming from Hong-Kong apparently and i live in central Europe. Kind of odd they ship it from so far away.@@cyberscrilla

It’s the cold wallet. The private key is stored on the secure element chip in the card. The card is used to access, manage, and approve crypto transactions

@@cyberscrilla so i basically will scan my card on my phone to access and approve?

@@Ilovecash10 correct. It’s your digital signature. Same as other cold wallets. The main advantage (to Tangem & cold wallets in general) is that your private key is stored offline on the card and approvals must come from the card.

@@cyberscrilla for someone like that that has only sold is Solflare still good and safe?(thats what im currently using)

@@cyberscrilla what is the point seriously of using keys like trezor/ledgor when you cannot access whenever you want your crypto because you always need a computer compared to tangem where you can access your crypto whenever you want with the app

🤣 Thank you!

@cyberscrilla a con could also be shipping lol. Been waiting over a week now b😫😫

@@djbrianschack4799 a week is about average to be honest. I think shipping will improve once they catch up with orders for the new 2.0 release 🙏

@@cyberscrilla hey, so i just received my Tangem cards today and the perforated seals on the box were NOT perforated. Are the cards still safe to use even though the box was not sealed?

No. Just buy from the website. It’s safer and you get the discount

I haven’t used Arculus. But honestly, i don’t believe it gets much better than Tangem.

​@cyberscrilla I do have Arculus wallet and after I saw your review of Tangem I ordered using your link, I'm kind of curious because both are the same except Arculus has seed!

@@uverex251 nice, thank you. And Tangem has seed as well. 👍

No

@@cyberscrilla Thank you for your prompt reply.

👍

Curious why it’s difficult? I use mine almost daily with no issues sending/receiving coins.

@@cyberscrilla not sure.. I experimented with 5 separate transactions from coinbase wallet and only 1 was received and that was eth . A transaction record of send was recorded from the coinbase hot wallet but only 1 was received on tangem side

The cards already come with no electronic components and no batteries though. Why something smaller than a card?

To be able to hide it in a secure spot, where it won’t be noticeable for long-term or put it in a small capsule and bury it in your backyard. Something like an Apple tag or a small cube a gym membership keychain tag that would fit into medicine bottle and none the wiser. I feel there should be different options to store your crypto.

@@Aitch135 there will be. It’s only a matter of time.

Exactly, Tangem is so simple!!

You can do that if you want. But the more I learn about it, it’s not very useful. Plus the step right after would require you to turn service back on to activate the card - Alex

It’s more secure if your seed phrase is generated on the wallet itself. But you’re wrong to say “if it shows your seed phrase on your phone then bye bye” A cold wallet means the private key is stored on the wallet device (which it is with Tangem) Out of the nearly 1 million wallets Tangem has sold, there have been no reports of anyone be hacked. 99% of compromised wallets are the result of user error (clicking on a phishing link) not malware. - Alex

@@cyberscrilla if your cell has malware they can see everything on your screen that you can meaning if you create your wallet its seed phase is shown on the cell itself not on the hardware .. sorry your wrong bro ..

@BlowUpDaChr0n i understand what you’re saying. Also, there are a number of different malware’s. Not all are a screen capture malware. BUT what im saying is most people don’t have malware on their phone.

@@cyberscrilla or most don't know that they have it on their phones .. thus the point of a hardware wallet .everything is done on the hardware side not on the software side... tangem looks good but its not .. no way to update .. they had to release ver 2.0 because you could take 2 cards and override the passphase to gain excess to the crypto.. so really you are technically paying for a hot wallet at this point because the attack vector is there. How Do Scammers Take Over Your Phone And Steal Your Money is a video that shows how easy it is .. start at 8 mins .. whatever you see they see ..

If you want to do that I wouldn’t use a hot wallet. Either wait for Tangem to release native staking in the app or connect Tangem to a hot wallet using WalletConnect and stake that way.

@@cyberscrilla so you’re saying don’t use Phantom… Because it’s a hot wallet? But use Tangem using a connect Wallet feature? Will that allow me to connect to these apps more safely?

And to add… I’m assuming that they will keep a commission once they implement… Yet I can get the staking at 7.5 to 8% with a zero commission. Is that what you’re thinking that they will keep a commission?

@@user-oc1yn6lg4k no, I don’t think Tangem will take any of your money for staking

@@cyberscrilla thank you so much… Last question… You didn’t answer above, but I’ll repeat it… So using wall connect I can still steak and be OK?

As long as it’s a trusted and proven entropy that would be fine. You can even import a 24 word key if you’d like. But the 12 word seed phrase generated by Tangem is still secure as well. 👍

@@cyberscrilla when you talk about reliable entropy what do you mean? Can't you do it easily with dice?

@@suzuky78 You’d have to roll the dice 138 times to come up with your 12 word seed phrase (assuming you’re using a single, 6 sided dice). Personally, I’d rather use the true random number generator that most cold wallets already provide.

No.

It’s a 128 bit private key. A 12 word seed phrase is the mnemonic version of a private key. So the key is stored on the card’s secure element chip, and no one can ever know it (if you don’t choose the seed phrase option). - Alex

@@gregero you’re welcome. I just edited the comment. I meant 128 :)

Ok, thanks, man

It's Bip 39 which is 12 or 24 words chosen at random from 2048 words

@@baronsilverbaron757 it does not generate a 24 word seed phrase

Yes it does 👍

@@cyberscrilla thank you

You’re welcome!

@@cyberscrilla Hi, i just got my Tangam wallet. Thank you.

No the other cards are still backups if you use a seed phrase. You need to activate 1 backup in order to create a wallet. So even if you used 2/3 of your cards, the extra card wouldn’t have a backup so you couldn’t create it

​@cyberscrilla so if I buy 3 cards and generate a seed phrase for each card does it mean that it generates the same seed phrase? If that is the case then it's really confusing and doesn't make sense at all. If I get 3 cards and I would be able to generate a diffrent seed phrase for each card otherwise why having 3 cards that can generate seed phrase? Am missing? something

@nidalalghad4959 You need at least one backup card to setup the Tangem wallet. The original reason why Tangem includes multiple cards is because they use to NOT generate a seed phrase. Thus, the extra cards act as your backup. And some people still prefer this method. If you’re going the seed phrase route, 2 cards is fine (they will have the same seed phrase). If you get three cards, they will still share the same seed phrase. You CAN’T generate one seed phrase per card.

Ok thanks for clarification 👍 This part must be explained very well as I am sure that it confuse or misslead many people. And the strange thing is no much explanation from their website too, like frequently asked question. Once they will be able to create different seed phrase for each card it will a big hit until then it won't compete much with other HW wallets

@nidalalghad4959 Some clarification might be needed. But Tangem is one of the most popular cold wallets on the market. It’s already a huge hit.

Is has an access code that you can mark any length. And it doesn’t natively support multisig, but you can use this wallet as a multi sig

@@cyberscrilla didnt mean app passphrase, but as an additional seedword.

I want to buy directly from your shop not in Philippine resellers it's quite expensive here. is it still possible to buy and shiping it here in Philippines.

I hope there is an opinion that we from Philippines bought the exact price of trezor model T even the trezor One and safe3 Price..

I assumed you wanted to buy the Tangem wallet considering this video is about Tangem, not Trezor. I don’t have a shop. I always recommend purchasing directly from the manufacturer Trezor does not ship to Philippines.
